Post Mortem - Fotos do Além

I really, REALLY wanted to like this movie. It had my kind of description, my kind of look and feel, and ... my kind of story. Several of the actors are competent, (not many, but several), and, on THIS budget (which appears to be about 59¢), the director did a "passable" job. Now, don't get me wrong ... I really love when a director has to make a shoestring budget work (i.e. George Romero).

Not to give anything away, but, when lead character Tomás is rescued from death in war and becomes a photographer of the dead for poor families in the early 1900's Europe ... I got excited! THAT plot line had a lot of possibilities. Tomás goes to a small, war torn village to photograph family members with their dead, in really kind of "macabre" family portraits, and the hijinks ensue.

Look for little Anna, Tomás's village "helper", who also does a credible acting job.
